Rain hammered the manor windows as guests gathered for dinner. At midnight, Lady Vale's scream shattered the polished silver silence. Everyone froze beside candlelit portraits, listening for another dreadful sound. Then the lights failed, swallowing faces, corridors, and whispered accusations. When darkness lifted, Doctor Renn lay dead beneath the staircase. His amber pocket watch ticked near his polished black shoe. No one admitted moving, though every guest watched someone closely. Inspector Marlow arrived smiling, carrying an umbrella and empty notebook. He studied the corpse, then noticed mud upon Renn's cuff. Outside, rain continued, yet the garden paths remained perfectly dry. Marlow closed his notebook, suddenly certain the murderer remained inside.
